Single setup micro tap grinding

The TapXmicro grinds taps up to M3. Based off the MX Linear machine platform, the 5-axis machine includes features to support each grinding operation – capacity for up to 6 wheel packs, dressers for all grinding wheels, and a flexible compensating chuck system between center workholding. TapXmicro delivers consistency when grinding micro tolerances, achieving a pitch diameter 1.5CpK when batch grinding M1.4 x 0.3mm taps with a tolerance of ±7µm.

Torque Fit replaces multiple torque wrenches and has adapters available for common machine tool interfaces such as CAT, BT, SK, HSK, and Big Capto. Torque values are preset, however, the operator can use a generic setting to tighten any collet chuck with a torque value up to 80Nm (60 lb-ft).

Coating system

The VT-3000i system deposits various materials using physical vapor deposition (PVD) or plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD). For temperature-sensitive substrates, it can use low-temperature arc vapor deposition technology (LTAVD). Deposition options include metallic colors – chrome, black, gold, brass, nickel, or bronze, as well as diamond-like carbon (DLC) – and various functional coatings.

VT-3000i’s 40% smaller footprint and updated design makes it easier to integrate into manufacturing facilities. The system eliminates complexities and increases ease of installation, operation, and maintenance.

Automatic measurement app

Offering standard imaging and viewing features, the Omni Core digital inspection system can be user-customized via optional imaging and measurement apps. The 2D Automatic Measurement app analyzes samples requiring accurate and repeatable measurements. The app can take a single measurement or execute a menu of predetermined measurements – exporting the results for documentation and analysis.

Compact VMC

The DNM 4000 vertical machining center for lean cell applications machines small parts in tough-to-machine materials. Featuring a 12,000rpm, 25hp, 40-taper spindle with 86 lb-ft of torque and a standard Big-Plus dual-contact interface, the DNM 4000 delivers short cycle times, consistent part surface finishes, and long tool life.

With a 65" x 11" x 108" footprint and travels of 20.5", 15.7", and 18.9" (X, Y, Z), the two-door design incorporates a large opening for easy access. The coolant system is located in the rear of the machine. The Fanuc i control with easy operation package (EOP) software developed by Doosan provides functions for convenient operation and reduced setup time.

Rigid ER collet chucks

Available with a Jacobs taper #1, #2, #33, and #4, these holders are compatible with standard Jacobs taper spindles and accept standard ER collets. The chucks are available in ER16, ER20, and ER32. Specials are available to meet customer-specific needs.

Gundrilling machine

The Eldorado M75-30T twin-spindle gundrilling machine’s counter-rotation fixture maximizes effectiveness of gundrilling by rotating the workpiece in the opposite direction of the drill’s rotation, improving straightness and reducing drill drift. The counter-rotation fixture features an improved gearbox and motor mount for reduced vibration. An automatic advance/retract of the entire counter-rotation assembly via a programmable servo simplifies part loading and unloading and reducing cycle time.

The M75-30T has a 0.75" (19mm) diameter drilling capacity and a 30" (762mm) maximum drilling depth. It has two gundrilling spindles using independent spindle control, enabling two independent drilling cycles at the same time.

cThe XM-600 laser measurement system, using technology developed for the XM-60 multi-axis calibrator, connects directly with Renishaw’s range of universal CMM controllers (UCC). This enables faster and easier error mapping, measuring all six degrees of freedom from a single setup in any orientation for linear axes.

The XM-600 communicates easily with Renishaw UCC software during the calibration routine to quickly build a complete error map. This functionality is supported by UCCsuite V5.4 and higher, enabling the map of a CMM within half a day.

Tool grinder

The versatile Star NXT CNC 5-axis tool grinder with fewer moving parts has a small footprint and large grind zone to run small and large diameter wheels. It features easily configurable options in a modular design.
